I Will Protect You |Taekook|

Part 12

Author's Pov

After a long tiring and broken day, Jungkook returned home not after wiping his last stains of tears. He just wanted to flop on the bed and cry on his pillows which were the only things in this world which would make him feel cared for other than his parents.

Jungkook pressed the bell and waited for someone to open it. To his surprise, his father opened it this time. Why was he home today? Didn't he go to work early in the morning?

"Sweet home," Mr Jeon smiled at his shocked face and added, "Don't be that shocked. I just came here to take some files and your mom is inside waiting for you. Go and freshen up and come down fastly because we have something important to say."

Jungkook gave him a confused look but went inside to be greeted by the sound of some papers being picked up and folded rapidly one by one. He glanced inside the living room just to see his mom doing some destruction with a bunch of paper.

"Hurry Kook!" His father called out behind him, pushing him away from the view and going inside then locking the door.

Weird...

Jungkook came outside of his room and made his way downstairs. He found his parents sitting on the sofa and a big file in front of them on a table.

"Sit here," Mrs Jeon said with a warm smile. This behaviour was familiar to Jungkook. He furrowed his brows and sat in front of them.

After a long pause, Mr and Mrs Jeon exchanged hesitant looks and Mrs Jeon nodded before Mr Jeon started speaking seriously, "Jungkook, as you know that we have arranged your marriage..."

Marriage? What marriage? And why in the fuck was he going to get married in such you-?! Wait a minute, no, he's getting married. He had completely forgotten about it. How could he? Like why! How can he forget this important thing? The bonding of his life with another girl!

"So we would like you to tell us your choice. We won't force you," Jungkook just heard this much of what his father told him. What should he tell now?

He had got a long period to think about his choice but he never got the chance to rethink his decisions because he had moments which would fly away the marriage especially when it was not his choice.

He gazed at his parent's face. It held hope, they had nervous smiles though they tried hard to cover it up. They had so many expectations from him. How could he even imagine breaking them?

His parents never argued or denied whatever he wanted. They always agreed without any other thought but now... for the very first time very they had asked him a thing, just a single thing yet they were still asking about his own choice. No, he's too kind to say no to the marriage.

The Lalisa girl seemed a good and kind girl. Nothing can be wrong, right? His parents had chosen her for him, it is obvious they had chosen the girl who is perfect for him.

"Yes," he said shortly, cracking a painful smile which got unnoticed by both his parents who were squealing with joy and had given him a tight hug.

"Ah, my baby! I love you so much! I knew you would say yes," they finally let out of him and sat in their respective places with a smile still on their faces.

There was silence until Jungkook asked to make them feel he was genuine with the marriage, "Umm what about her? Does she still study?"

"Yeah, she has just returned from America a few months ago. She did her studies over there and will continue here in Korea." Mr Jeon replied and Jungkook made an 'o' shape.

"She is 20, a few months older than you I must say." Mrs Jeon added. Jungkook made an interesting-looking face though he was not at all interested.

"Kook, go and have your lunch. I and your dad have important works to be done," Mrs Jeon said while picking up the file from the table. Jungkook nodded and went to the kitchen.
